Oleophobic coating comes off of AW because of washing or rubbing?

[Luba]

It seems to only take a few months before the oleophobic coating comes off/wears off, because of washing or rubbing too often?

Shouldn't. I'm in medicine, wash my hands 20+ times a day, oleophobic still present and working as far as I can tell a year later.

Sapphire crystal has oleophobic properties and doesn't need any special coating. An AW with a sapphire crystal should easily be able to withstand hand washing rubbing. Regular watches with a sapphire crystal have been around many decades.

If you’re using dishwasher soap, the soap is well know to harm coatings on glasses and screens. So ONLY use certified chemicals ⚠️

Using Neutrogena, a soap that’s supposed to gentle as it’s used for the cleaning the face. Apple approved using Clorox Wipes last year, perhaps that’s better than Neutrogena??

I have no idea about Neutrogena. Never heard about. But I do believe that all kinds of SOAPS are no-go. And no alcohol. There’s is special solutions for glass-faces. The best I believe, is just pure water and a glass cloth.
